Because you can lower the bit into the work with a plunge. A fixed router has no way to do that.

To do circle cutouts you either need the 1/4" straight bit or 1/4" spiral UPCUT bit. You can also do multiple passes to get flush cutouts for speakers.

A table and speaker rings compliment the flush cut bit. Or is that the other way around?
